Frequently Asked Questions

QUESTION:  Which companies use ERI data?

A number of voluntary subscriber disclosures about reliance on ERI data are cited in customer testimonials and corporate proxies and periodically appear in other authorized releases or public declarations. ERI does not release listings of the names of its subscribers.  A complete listing or count of all users since 1987 would be problematic since users might not reveal their identities to ERI, entities change names, and current subscriber populations are constantly increasing.  In general, ERI's research database software subscriptions are available to management, analysts and consultants and are now widely used by client organizations (over 10,000 corporate and consulting subscribers, affecting over 100,000 organizations' pay practices). Subscribers include corporate compensation, relocation, human resources, and other professionals, as well as independent consultants and counselors, and US and Canadian public sector administrators (including military, law enforcement, city/county, state/provincial, and federal government pay administrators). With the introduction of the Occupational Assessor (eDOT) software, vocational rehabilitation counselors, forensic economists, immigration attorneys and a host of other niche professionals are now joining as subscribers. For those interested in nonprofits, the Nonprofit Comparables Assessor (CA) is the definitive and comprehensive census of nonprofit executive pay used by IRS, charities, foundations and their consultants. ERI analyses are not available to the general public.
